Bob Einstein AKA Super Dave Osborne, a comedian, actor and writer, and older brother of Albert Einstein AKA Albert Brooks, has died at 76. The Super Dave character - a naive or stupid stuntman who seems to always manage to screw up his stunts to the point of serious injury - is probably his major legacy, along with his work on Curb Your Enthusiasm, but I'll always remember him best as the pushy and condescending sporting goods salesman who fleeces Albert Brooks in Modern Romance.

A fantastic director. I have still not seen Montenegro (or his 3 last films). He was a big favorite for me when I first got interested in cinema (W.R. was often spoken off at the time and pulled me in), but he rarely if ever get mentioned these days.

His early work is entirely different, but maybe you should avoid Sweet Movie (though they are different enough that you can love one and not the other). If you enjoy the new wave style of the 60s, Love Affair, or the Case of the Missing Switchboard Operator (1967) should be the most accessible.

While I have seen his work from the period, I don't believe I have given the rest of the Black Wave any attention, I really should, sad that it took his death to remind me.

One of the best gems which is always overlooked is Zaseda (The Ambush) by Živojin Pavlović. It appeals to me much more than Makavejev's sexual ouevre. I like his way of showing horrible stuff with sardonic sense of humor thrown in.

I liked that one too, but would still take some of Makavejev's early stuff over it. Love Affair, etc. in particular was quite touching. W.R. left me cold as well.
